Well thank you. I think warmwater flies are more fun for me to make than trout flies because you can just go nuts and make all sorts of crazy stuff.
I'm hoping that they'll entice some tiger musky too. Catching one on the fly has been a goal of mine for a while, but I just didn't feel good about hooking into one on my 6wt and playing it to death. Now I have an 8wt and I'm ready to go.
Carp are tons of fun on the fly. They rip off so much line when you set the hook. I once had one run me right into my backing on the first run. I'll have to try that fly on The Bear this spring. There are huge carp there as well as smallmouth, which I think will also like that fly.
I really, really love bass fishing. The way I look at it, trout fishing is like reading a deeper, more philosophical book, and bass fishing is more of a simple page turner kind of a read. They both have their place for me.
